Re: [Spridgets] Rebuilt race engine Smoke

[David Booker <tncarnut1@yahoo.com>]

Jeff,
 
I don't claim anything near guru status, but my dad has told me all my
life to "start with the simple stuff". Sometimes it has saved me big time on
projects.
 
With that in mind... When does it smoke? at idle? at high
revs/under stress? 
 
If it is at idle (when you have lots of vacuum) it is
possible the problem could be no more serious than your routing of crankcase
vent hoses. When I bought mine, the vent off the front of the block was routed
up and directly to the carbs. When I'd sit at a light or idle for some other
reason for a minute or two, I'd leave a giant cloud behind me when I took off.
 
Just a suggestion to look at before you go tearing it apart.

All you
engine gurues...

Just started a rebuilt race engine (948 Bugeye).  We have
excellent
compression across the board but after about 45 min running, we
still have
massive smoke and a plug inspection reveals all 4 plugs are wet
with oil after
shutting down. Give me your suggestions.
